Yes, you stupid bimbo. Lead AKA amorphous graphite can conduct electricity and all that good stuff.
The darkness of pencil lead is determined by its graphite-to-clay ratio. The higher the graphite content, the darker the lead. Therefore, a pencil lead labeled as "HB" or "B" will be darker than a lead labeled as "H" or "F." The darkest pencil lead commonly available is typically labeled as "6B" or "8B," indicating a high graphite concentration.
It is not a resistor, but not to say it's a good conductor. Although it lacks the metallic bonding that makes Cu such a good conductor, the sheets of graphite have hybridized sp2 orbitals, meaning there are long rows of p orbitals that can share electrons across the sheet, meaning it can conduct electricity. It has a resistivity of ~20uOhm meters, whereas as Cu has a resistivity of ~17nOhm meters.

There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite

You think probable to graphite.
No, graphite in a pencil is not magnetic. Graphite is a form of carbon and does not possess magnetic properties.
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which is a form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to give it form and strength. These mixture of graphite and clay are then encased in wood to create a pencil.
The predecessor of the graphite pencil was the lead pencil, which used a mixture of graphite and clay for the core instead of just graphite. Lead pencils were first developed in the 16th century.
The "lead" of a pencil is made from graphite, which is a form of carbon.
The part of the pencil that does the actual writing, called the pencil lead, is actually made of a mineral called graphite.

Graphite is denser than charcoal, and not as easily smudged.
